We can't really say this enough... > Anastasia Berg [at UCL Irvine] said that new research — and what she's hearing directly from colleagues across various industries — shows that employees who heavily rely on AI are losing core skills at a startling rate. www.businessinsider.com/ai-tools-are...

Some neighborhood hero installed this gorgeous hand-painted sign at the bus stop.

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

When 87% of execs are using AI for work, why are we not eliminating THOSE jobs?

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Bowser on injured National Guard members: "These young people should be at home in West Virginia with their families"

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world And by design LLMs destroy shared context

The convicted felon president will continue to lie, but when the truth starts to affect his followers, they will abandon him.

That’s how you throw a 🔧 in the ICE machine! 🙌

To the six Democratic lawmakers who made that beautiful video reminding our military members of their duty and obligation to NOT obey illegal orders, I say this: Make MORE of them.

This is just devastating. 😭 A beautifully-written, powerful farewell from Tatiana Schlossberg, including a statement about our healthcare system and condemntation of her cousin RFK's dismantling of it. Lots of love to her and her family during this difficult journey. ❤️

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

We demand his resignation. open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...

The President called for the murder of Congressional Democrats. Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation. Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them. It's the very least they should be doing!

Good.

Shame on Rep. Clay Higgins & shame on anyone who thinks this is acceptable. This man didn’t just cast the lone “no” vote on exposing a global sex-trafficking network… he also grabbed a citizen for daring to ask a question he didn’t like. I hope this young man presses charges.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

"If approved, the Settlement provides a cash payment to Class Members who file a valid and timely claim. The Settlement Fund includes approximately $3,000 per work, before deducting costs, fees, and expenses"

Some of you point out that the big players have used various tricks to keep their own $ safe. True. That's why we need to think about how to prosecute them for fraud. Those bubble-inflating claims - AI will cure all disease! end climate change! double lifespans! - are essentially Theranos X 1000.

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

🙏🙏🙏

That would be a 3-hour emergency room wait and a $2,000 co-pay, after a $500/month premium and $3,000 deductible for the rest of us. But hey, glad you're smiling Humpty Dumpty.

In her 1978 Oscar acceptance speech, Vanessa Redgrave boldly condemned Zionism a moment rarely acknowledged today

Be like water.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body." Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

65 Years Ago,,, History was made. #RubyBridges

Brazil didn’t stop at sentencing former president Bolsanaro to 27 years for an attempted coup; his entire inner circle—from the vice president and the military commander to the intelligence chief and even his son—are also facing decades in prison. America, this is what democracy looks like.

INBOX: In a detailed LinkedIn post, investigative reporter @mackoxenden.bsky.social accuses Suncoast Searchlight, a nonprofit news outlet based in SW Florida, of firing her in retaliation for raising concerns about her executive editor's use of AI, leading to the insertion of hallucinated quotes.

Next do impeachment.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

After an economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms and screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely rich assholes who aren't listening

Why are Western leaders protecting a country committing genocide that is also a safe haven for pedophiles? This is a transnational criminal enterprise. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

The DHS has illegally overhauled its SAVE system, meant to verify certain benefits but now being used as a massive citizenship check that pulls inaccurate data from SSA. Millions of Americans could be kicked off voter rolls. Comment here to protect #VotingRights www.regulations.gov/commenton/US...

#FlipTexasBlue ¡Si Se Puede! ✊🏾 #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up. This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

Everyone should be up in arms about Drump's involvement in Epstein's pedophile ring! Please don't let this be normalized. We need to seek justice for the victims and punish the adults who were involved, including that person currently in the Whitehouse! #TrumpSteinCoverUp
